Hi HISPAN

It is a Carolingian coin, but found in "Viking Land" on a trading place.

Ludwig was the carolingian king.
The coin is minted in Metullo (Melle) in western France, I think.

Thanks Mackaydon.
Yes there are a lot of different issues of this specific coin, and also the minting place is unknown / uncertain.
